worldNo brave new world, no brave new worldNight and day I scan horizon, sea and skyMy spirit wanders endlesslyuntil the day will dawn and friends from home discover whyHear me calling, rescue meSet me free, set me freeLost in this place, and leave no traceStranger in a strange landLand of ice and snowTrapped inside this prisonLost and far from homeOne hundred years have gone and men again they came that wayTo find the answer to the mysteryThey found his body where it fell that dayPreserved in time for all to seeNo brave new world, no brave new worldLost in this place, to leave no traceWhat became of the man that startedAll are gone and souls departedLeft me here in this prisonSo all aloneStranger in a strange landLand of ice and snowTrapped inside this prisonLost and far from homeWhat became of the man that startedAll are gone and souls departedLeft me here in this prisonSo all aloneStranger in a strange landLand of ice and snowTrapped inside this prisonLost and far from homeOSKAR
